Founding and Early Years Monumental Life Insurance Company, originally known as Mutual Life Insurance Company of Baltimore, began its operations in the insurance industry back in 1858. The company initially offered life and fire insurance coverage. In the 1930s, the company changed its name to Monumental Life Insurance Company. Geographical Reach Monumental Life was licensed to supply insurance products and services in all states except New York. The company was also certified to operate in the District of Columbia. Products Monumental Life offers a variety of insurance products. These products included term life insurance plans, whole life insurance, universal life insurance, indexed universal life insurance policies, and final expense life insurance Plans. They also provided accident and health insurance (cancer and disability income), traditional, term, universal, and group life products. Parent Company In 1997, Monumental Life was acquired by Aegon, a Dutch multinational life insurance, pension, and asset management company. As a result, Monumental Life became a subsidiary of Aegon. Rebranding and Closure In 2014, Monumental Life Insurance Company changed its name to Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company. Despite the name change, the products offered remained the same, and current policyholders could still file claims through Transamerica. Despite its rebranding and eventual closure, the company’s legacy continues through its parent company, Aegon, and its wide range of insurance products that serve the needs of many American families.
